80% SCAM

After doing the usual, checking it out, making a profile, getting excited about recieving emails, and finding out you got to pay to read them, I sorta blew it off for a few months, but then after I had about 30 emails in my inbox, I figured I'd give it a shot.
The first thing I must point out is this site is not honest right off the bat. The 'women' on Fling.com are mostly imported from other sites where women are looking for relationships, not hookups. When I finally signed up, I eagerly went to my inbox to read the messages that have been collecting. Sure, I knew at least some would be fake, the typical fake profile " thanks for joining, you should upgrade" type stuff. To my disbelieve almost every message in my inbox was the same generic line. Either "you should add more photos" or " You should check me out sometime" not a single real email out of the close to 30 recieved.
To be fair to them, they *do* have an option to send a prewritten, generic email message, but most of the ones I got weren't on that list. And of all the ladies I emailed me, not a single one replied. They were interested before I upgraded my account, but not anymore it seemed. But I wasn't to be discouraged.
I made a message I could mass send, something a little personal. It was kind of a generic hello message, but told a little about me. Along the lines of, "kinda new to this thing, wanted to say hi. I'm so-n-so, I like to do blah blah. My interests are, i'm looking for, would love to chat" you get the idea. I figured the key to any *hookup* site is pure numbers. I'd have better luck emailed 500 people a nice hello, then emailing 10 people with a long, individual message. To my surprise, a few replies did come in!
It was nice at first, nothing gets you harder then when you see new messages in the inbox. But that quickly faded as the more people I talked to, the more I began to realize that not alot of people on there were serious about meeting up. They would write back every now n then, but most didn't go anywhere. I can sorta tell if there's a possibility of something there or not. Alot of the replies started out as "hey, what's up"
Right away that says if i wrote them a somewhat long message saying alot about me, and all they can muster is a "what's up", they're really not interested. I've been on that site for about a month now and just cancelled my membership. Here would be my findings
emails recieved before upgrading: ~30 ( 100% fake )
emails revieved after upgrading: 0
emails sent: ~ 300
emails replied to: 8
out of the 8, people meet up with: 2 ( with hookup results )
I'm a very honest guy. I'm not going to kid myself and say I'm a 10, or 9, or even an 8. But I'm not that bad on the eyes. I'm in decent shape, good complextion, no obvious blemishes or eye-sores. To test this out, I emailed everyone from a daytime 4 to a nighttime 10, and everything in between. I honestly expected much better then what I got from this site.
To Flings credit, I did manage to get laid twice. Neither I would brag about to friends by any means, but hey, somethings better then nothing.
To sum this up. Fling *can* work, and does have ALOT of profiles for women, but go in realizing that about
** 80% of those profiles are either fake ( only there to spam email new members into upgrading ) or imported from another dating site
** the male / female ratio is probably very high, as expected.
** a good portion of the women who are nice enough to reply, have no interest in anything other then just chatting online
** set your standards a tad lower and try try try, you're bound to score a friend or two, but after quite of bit of patience and frustration.

Pros
I managed to get laid

Cons
They lied to me right off the bat with ALOT of fake profiles emailing me before I was able to read the messages.
